Install Samsung Screen Recorder on Samsung Devices

I have always liked highly customized versions of Android (as long as they don’t affect the performance very much). Right from the days of my old Xperia Neo V, I have been using MIUI – a highly customized version of Android.

Another highly customized and perhaps, the most popular Android implementation is Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. The main attractions with all these UIs are that they look completely different from stock Android and offers some bells and whistles (irrespective of whether the user needs it or not). One of the main disadvantages of them is that they have different Framework and because of that, any native apps from these Android implementations can never be ported to work on other Android flavors. Sometimes, it’s the other way around – some apps behave in a weird way as opposed to their expected behavior.

One such case is the usage of screen recording apps in Samsung phones. They often force close and cause issue and doesn’t play along very well with TouchWiz. But, thankfully there is a native screen recording option in TouchWiz which Samsung decided to hide for whatever reason. In this tutorial, we will tell you how to enable native screen recording on Samsung devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and 7.0 Nougat.
